Todd Starnes: Trump Should Order An ICE Raid To Arrest All Dreamers That Democrats Bring To SOTU

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and a number of other Democrats plan to fill the House gallery with illegal aliens when President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address on Tuesday. ABC News reports at least 24 House Democrats plan to bring illegals — the so-called “Dreamers” — to watch the Tuesday night speech from the House gallery.

The illegal aliens will be sitting in seats that in previous years were meant for brave military heroes, law-abiding taxpayers and America’s best and brightest. The sad truth is that Democrats would rather align themselves with foreign invaders who violated our national sovereignty, thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources.

In response, President Trump should fill the remainder of the House gallery with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Imagine the message he could send to the world if he directed ICE agents to arrest every illegal alien in the House chamber – live on national television.

Yup. Any democrat running for office could just put that on TV and say, “Is this what America is all about? Have we devolved that much? Or is it only the GOP who has become that fascist? Vote for democrats. Vote for America.”

Exactly my thoughts. What a horrific image for the nation and entire world to see. Our standing in the world has already dropped so much. Having the gestapo come in and drag people away live on tv will certainly get everyone’s attention.

I was thinking along the lines of when Sadam Hussein had his political opponents escorted outside and murdered when he took over.

JCF

Including sons-in-law! [Word to the wise, Jared.]

Butch

What were they supposed to do, Todd? Wriggle out of their parent’s arms and crawl back across the border? They were little kids. You do understand that?

Bj Lincoln

Not all of them re small children. Many of them are old enough to get jobs and go to college.

canoebum

Now. Not when they were brought here. There are both upper and lower age limits on DACA eligibility.

Macbill

I hope they all “boo” at every utterance.

Outlaw Woman

Normally I’d say, “Blah blah blag Todd, the president would never do anything so kunty as that,”

But, under Trump, I’m thinking it might just happen.

SkokieGuy

I’ve had this same fear since they’ve announced they are bringing dreamers. Literally have ICE agents pull them out of their seats on national TV. The Republicans would largely cheer, the right wing hate machine that Trump so successfully inflamed will spontaneously climax.

As others have noted in this thread with their imagery, this is 1930’s Germany. We are using prisons instead of camps, buses and planes instead of boxcars, but the intent is the same. Ethnic cleansing.

Makoto

The only reason I don’t think they’ll do it live on TV is because then it wouldn’t be all about Trump during the speech.
I would not be surprised if they wait until after and attempt to quietly check people at the exits while the news folks are drooling over how ‘presidential’ Don sounded while reading his script from the teleprompter.

clay

but with Stephen Miller writing that tele-promptered speech…

Makoto

Ugh. You’re right. I could see him writing in “(Wait for applause) Now ICE agents, if you will take the members seated in this row into custody.. (Wait for applause)”.

SkokieGuy

Your scenario is more realistic and just as disturbing.

clay

85% of ICE’s deportations have been of Latin Americans, who make up only about 50% of the undocumented population. Ethnic cleansing, indeed. Why else would Arpaio, Kobach, et al. make physical appearance grounds for “reasonable” suspicion of being illegal, asking Native Americans for their papers to prove they’re not undocumented Mexican mestizos?

SkokieGuy

This! Also I believe about half of undocumented are Visa overstays, so the border becomes even more transparent for what it represents.

Nowhereman

I seriously think that the goal is not so much deporting them as it is making sure that they are detained in private-for-profit prisons for as long as possible.

Sean Williams

Dreamers are registered with the government. It is a program. If they wanted to round them all up, they could do it right now.

SkokieGuy

Of course, but the other side has made clear, that there is no level of ugly they will not stoop to. The masturbating of their base would be enhanced by the public spectacle. I obviously hope I am wrong.

Gerry Fisher

1) I hope this doesn’t happen. 2) These optics just might wake up some people who haven’t clued in that we’re moving into fascism. “It’s not real unless I see it personally.”

David Walker

I think that coverage of the Selma police insanity did just that. Suddenly, dogs attacking blacks became dogs attacking humans. Water cannons blasted humans. Police beat humans with billy clubs. Why? For wanting to be full-fledged US citizens.

I also think that Walter Cronkite had more influence on people than is thought. It wasn’t just his report from Vietnam, it was the trust people had in him. Paraphrasing Johnson: “If we lose Cronkite, we lose middle America.” And he did. The war took much longer before it was resolved, but it continued under increased scrutiny by the citizens.

their parents pay taxes. Dreamers have attended schools paid for by those taxes. Dreamers have paid college tuition. America has invested in Dreamers. throwing away that investment is not sound business policy.

clay

Most Dreamers also started paying taxes, themselves, starting at age 16.

It’s nice that toady project his own fantasy on his dear leader who’s only interest is to read his rating after the broadcast.

Karl Dubhe 2

Has he started to ferment the pee he drinks? Or did he just start drinking the pee from someone who eats magic mushrooms every day?

No, I really shouldn’t blame drugs or alcohol for his behaviour, it’s unfair.

Treant

Uh…yeah, let’s do that. The optics, on every single news agency in the world, will really help shore up confidence in the Trump “presidency.”

E.J.

I doubt Sessions cares about optics

Treant

He has to go back to his shithole state and live there, though. If he does anything crude, they’ll stop calling him “not the marrying kind” and pull out the big insults.

Proud MOFO Beaner (bkb)

This is exactly the way trump’s base feels. Please don’t cite to me polls that claim otherwise. Why would these people suddenly develop empathy for brown people? They have none and would cheer if this happened

Wow. First, when Ms Gissing grabs his hand and hugs him. Then, when the entire rooms rises to its feet in response to the question, “Who here owes Mr Winton his life?” Such quietly powerful moments.

JCF

Onions…

prixator

Thanks for posting this. It’s so important at this time in history to be regularly reminded that there are kind, generous, wonderful and heroic people amongst us who do the right thing only because it’s the right thing to do.

The Sentinel

What a toad.

Joe in PA

What a load.

Bluto

Many of the Dreamers ARE brave military heroes, law-abiding taxpayers and America’s best and brightest, you foul, fetid, festering ham-headed fuck-face pee boy pig fucker.

Nowhereman

Yeah, but Cadet Bone Spurs wants to make this country white “again”… As if it ever was.
Seriously, Trump supporters are now telling Native Americans to go back where they came from…

I just can’t believe that he gets paid good money to write shit like that. It’s so stoooo-pid, it hurts!

FAEN

Ah-more from the party of ‘Family Values’.

Nowhereman

If someone says it on Hannity or Fox and Friends, it will happen. And yes, it will certainly send a message. Who knew that the ICE agents would be our modern day Storm Troops? What’s next? Raiding Walmart stores and Trump golf properties?

Fucking hypocrites. Meanwhile, in the real world, Trump is enabling the “chain immigration” that he claims to despise, but only for white people. Russian couples who are pregnant are buying condos at his properties so that their babies can be born here and are then “natural born citizens”. After that, all they have to do is to live here for 14 continuous years, and that baby can later run for president. That is a story that is not getting much attention in the news.

Yobitim

What a fabulous idea! It’s just fabulous!

Uncle Mark

Meanwhile, stil flabby, flaccid & flatulent Todd Starnes is still not invited to attend the (SOTU) ball….still waiting for his invitation that will never come. Why…why…why aren’t the ugly girls, like him, ever invited?. “I’m a real American.” “Why do these “foreigners” always get asked out?”

Robincho

Oh just fucking die already, you turdy toady stain…

Kevin Perez

I see the tags, Crackpot and Teabagistan but don’t forget FitnessModel.

Kruhn

Hey Todette! There’s something called parliamentary immunity which protects Members of Congress from assholes like you wanting to arrest them while conducting their business. It could be considered to include guests during the State of the Union. Finally, jackass, there are a lot of noncitizens serving in the military. Are they not as heroic or brave as their citizen counterparts, asshole?

Such great advice! Yes, I want film of the Nazis tearing people out of the Houses of Congress to ship away from the only homes they have known, in order to protect the snowflake Rethugs from contamination by foreigners.

Gretchen

Does anyone know how Mexico is handling these deportations when people have no roots or financial ability to resettle there? For some reason I suspect they have a more compassionate response than the US?

Jean-Marc in Canada

Well, ICE is pretty much the Gestapo in the U.S. now, so it would make sense that an petulantly pompous puerile pustule like Starnes would want that to happen, ’cause MURIKA!

jeffg166

The fetal pig is squealing yet again.

ClevelandJim

Yeah, and Armour should send their hazmat team to pick up their rotted missing ham at Fox News

HZ81

Closet queens have the weirdest fantasies.

coram nobis

If Todd has these fantasies of big, black-uniformed men hauling him around in handcuffs, he should attend Folsom Street Fair. It’d do him good.

The Milkman

Please do. Make sure they scream and cry and have to be tazed to drag them out of the chamber, as worldwide television cameras capture every bit of it for posterity. The Republicans will lose the Latino community for the next several generations.

Paula

Todd, I was born in Canada. Please, please come over and deport me. It will be in law enforcement textbooks for years.

I agree with white supremacists, the condition of their birth really is the high point of their lives as everything else after that is just a long downward spiral.

Statistics Palin

Why can’t we deport Todd Starnes back to the red state shit hole he came from?

Halou

The optics of Trump’s praetorian guard storming into Congress and taking people away… The ratings will be bigly as everyone will tune in to see it for themselves, but a day or two later the negative consequences will start to come in thick and fast.

Also, the idea that Todd Starnes is in any way insulted by the thought of anyone aligning themselves with “foreign invaders” is a joke. Does he know which country Trump has pledged his loyalty to? And, to quite the fools at Fox & Friends “Do you care?”

David Walker

The reaction from around the world I can see. Reaction from within the US? I truly don’t know. Negative consequences? Again, internationally I have no doubt. Internally, I hope so, but with all that president shithole and his band of fucking morons have done to us, the reaction of the majority of US citizens is tepid at best. The healthcare demonstrations at the town hall meetings did let congress know our feelings, but the demonstrations didn’t help. The tax demonstrations in congress critters’ offices were good, but they didn’t help. Congress knows they can get away with this shit with no consequences whatsoever. Oh, maybe a boo here and there, but they remain in office, and power is what counts. We need more and concentrated action. Would ICE action do it? I hate to have come to this, but I have serious doubts.

Gretchen

I hate to say it, but I’m afraid you are right. I think Americans at least my age (40’s) and older were taught (indoctrinated) to believe that America is the land of milk and honey and that we are this invincible power because only we have god on our side. This sense that our democracy, which the majority don’t even know is a Republic, is the one true way to govern and must be completely inerrant has led us to a complacency where the vast majority believes it needs no attention let alone intervention from the populace. Now, many would say it’s too corrupt to fix, so they plan to just live their lives in ignorance of whatever happens in government. Getting a group of people who have stars ands stripes patriotism but no desire to participate as citizens to act is going to require far more propulsion than a televised atrocity. We see those every day on the 24 hour news. I don’t know what it will take, but I fear it will involve a nuclear level event here at home.

Todd Starnes is like the little vicious, vindictive, asshole, embarrassment cherry on top of the whole “Trump manages to embarrass the entire country every single day” sundae.

Personal note to Todd: If I wanted to live in North Korea, I’d move there.

DisqusD37

He truly suffers from some disorder like Tourette’s. Nobody tries to be an asshole this hard.

mpatreyu

What a horrible little man.

Raising_Rlyeh

“The sad truth is that Democrats would rather align themselves with foreign invaders who violated our national sovereignty, thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources.”

Jesus fucking christ, has all that urine eroded his brain? They are not “foreign invaders,” you’re confusing dreamers with Atilla the Hun. They are in the military, they are in college, they are not “plundering” anything you dumb stupid fuck.

coram nobis

“…who violated our national sovereignty, thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources.”

Sounds like the current GOP (see, e.g., Interior, Dept. of).

Frank McCormick

One, DACA has not yet sunsetted, so the dreamers are still “legal”.

Two, in order to qualify for DACA, you had to prove that you were not a drain on “taxpayer-funded resources”.

Three, dreamers are taxpayers as well.

Len Ricci

Someone should get the electric prod and get this big ol fat piggy back into his Sty before he does anymore damage…

Friday

When Christianists wanted to be a martinet, but ended up just a toadie.

Is he allowed withing 2000 feet of daycares or elementary schools? Just curious…

Reality.Bites

In general, yes. But not near the urinals.

Steve Teeter

What he wants is a police state. Clearly.

Misutaa Roboto

I’ve fucking had it with these Nazi cheerleaders.

Franciscan

On the other hand, Todd, since it seems that all the Trumps (except Baron) are to be present, it would be a great opportunity for the FBI to arrest the whole bunch.

anne marie in philly

look at that open mouth up there; begging for someone to piss in it…or stick a cock in it…

teedofftaxpayer

When I heard that Democrats were going to bring Dreamers to the SOTU address, the first thing that came to my mind is Trump might have them arrested. Don’t put anything pass him. He’s a vindictive little bitch.

Ann Kah

Please do not insult us bitches.

-M-

foreign invaders? Oh, my. Hyperbolic drama queen thy name is Starnes.
Hopefully any Dreamers they take will still have their deferment.

Rede23

I always knew Todd was an evangelical fool who couldn’t tell the bible from the constitution no matter how many times you explained how wrong he is, and that he was bad even by Fox standards, but even this made me take pause. There’s more anger and hatred in this one piece then I could ever imagine. And the worst part is his audience eats this up and say’s he’s just a politically incorrect hero who calls it like it is instead of the disturbingly brown-shirted creep he is.
